Natural Chocolate Goodness, Just As Nature Intended

Roxanne Brillante-Justice, décor consultant and chocolate maker ;). If you are a follower of As Nature Intended interiors blogs then you are aware from my last posting that I have had a recent life changing diet experience. If not please read my previous posting.

As I am in this process of removing dairy products and adding more greens to my diet I am also learning to prepare my foods more raw and truer to their natural and more nutritious form. Of course the interior designer in me must also create a eye pleasing plate with color and balance. It is always interesting to me that while creating a more decorated plate usually means adding more colorful natural nutrition, just as nature intended. As I discover my most favorite healthy creations I will share them with you so we can together not only create healthy natural surroundings with décor but also for our body and soul.


In removing dairy from my diet I was missing one of my most favorite foods, chocolate. So I of course went on a quest to create a healthy delicious chocolate. So I began researching chocolate and found that in its purest form it is the single most healthy food. Chocolate is made from the Cocoa bean and the Cocoa bean in its raw form has the highest form of anti oxidants of any other food. Most chocolate as we know it does not have the same nutritional value because it has been either heated or other non health value ingredients have been added to it or both. My "Natural Chocolate Goodness" does not contain sugar or dairy and has not had the nutritional value cooked out. It is still in its raw form. I have used organic ingredients; cocoa powder, cocoa butter, vanilla bean, agave nectar, sea salt, almond butter and lot's of love.


"Natural Chocolate Goodness" taste like one of my favorite foods, dark chocolate and peanut butter. So good tasting and with all this nutritional value I believe you should have at least one piece daily. Imagine a chocolate that you must eat everyday because it is that good for you. "Natural Chocolate Goodness", chocolate just as nature intended.
